Sorella's
388 Centre Street
Jamaica Plain, MA
It can be overkill for some but it has the most diverse and creative breakfast menu I've ever come across ... incredible omelettes, sweet stuff like peanut butter pancakes and macadamia nut french bread french toast topped with whipped cream, kiwi and strawberry ... its a lot of fun but be prepared for a wait during prime weekend hours (11-1).
I'll have to see if I can find that anywhere. I love how she never slows down ... just disappears.
oh, musta missed that...thanks, those are pretty funny.
plaese elaborate with your Peter Tosh song title Real Head
This place has an intense brunch. Not cheap but extremely satisfying. They must only be able to seat what, 18-20 people in that place!
Actually, if you are going to come to JP for breakfast,
you should hit my new fav spot, Bon Savor, on the corner of
Centre & Pond Streets, on the 500 block of Centre. Great
authentic French brunch, comparatively cheap, and no lines
outside like Sorella's and Centre St. Cafe.
Best of all, they serve until 3:30 PM on Sundays .. in fact, I'm
out to go there right this damn minute! Avocado omelette here I come!
I'm not even talking about for a car.
i mean attach this to your person.
In JP especially.
nothing can help you there.
a map, a compas, a walkie talkie, spelunking gear.
nothing.
you will go round and round and round and round
the roundabouts
until you vomit
like riding the himalaya
as a child at the county fair.
If you like well planned cities based around gridded, logically named streets (pref. numbered) you will die in Boston. Instead of keeping to logic, you need to embrace the absurd. Or take the (T).
Really just wanna take in the aquarium, find the best Lobster roll and maybe buy some records...not really dig, but just go to shops where the records are alphabetized and have price tags...any place good? Thinking maybe Cambridge has some decent spots? Perhaps?
oh....and prolly a sealed copy of the tough guys ost for $30.
LOL - there really are 10 sealed copies in every store ...
but you can get them for $10 from the right spots ... that will
probably be one of those records where 20 years from now I'll be
telling some young timmy D, "there used to be $10 sealed copies
of that one everywhere, now they're all gone..."
That Geto Bros. sample is must-have, no matter what
SoI, with Latin Raer on the brain- geto BOYS, fool!
Seriously, get some brew, have some clam chowder (not from legal's, tho) and walk around A nice, small, OLD American city.
Not the greatest record town in America, but you can find a couple things.
Check In Your Ear over in Alston...that's your best spot. Reid is a good dude, he'll help you out.
Feel free to PM if you need any recs, help, etc. Enjoy yourself.
Ha - I kept thinking something was wrong. At least I spelled GETO right
for some its chooowwwdaaah.
bitd this town was flooded with every cti record ever.
my homie is the one that had a case of the tough guys ost, then sold a grip to **** at looneys...then they priced em at $40 ! sitting right next to atcq boots (killa kuts) from nyc for $40...i had to let em know, they were trying to sell boots that were $5.99 for $40.
reid is the man...be sure to ask him about third guitar/baby dont... and evans pyramid !
jesus fucking non stop sirens around here !!!! the block is hot.
i will always rep boston, but i hate this fucking city. in the summer its best, all the fools leave, and the pace is just right.
If I'm around and we can arrange it, I might be able
to meet up and swap/sell some 45's. Try to hook up a
lil' trade box of 45's and I'll get some shit together -
we might rouse the brother KitchenKnight out, too.
